India, the enemy within by Dr M.Ragbeer India regained its independence in 1947 after nearly a millennium under Islamists and British. Indian history can be traced to approx. 10,000 BCE, the end of the last ice age. Many kingdoms and unions developed since, religious ferment flourished, producing tolerant religions and prospering, commanding 25-30% of the world's GDP, by the time the British appeared. Its wealth and diversity confounded the British, who failed to convert the Indian and concluded that the only way to do so was by destroying credibility of his beliefs. This they started, during their rule, with the defeat of Indians in 1757, and again in the 1857 revolt, by fabricating "proof" that Indian religions were based on myths, using as evidence a mistranslation of the Vaidas by a German, Max Muller, and following an education plan by Lord Macaulay, who knew no Indian language. The false history proposed an external "aryan" origin of Hindu scriptures and language and was taught at all schools, for 150 years, and broadcast globally. The discovery, 90 years ago, of the advanced Saraswati-Indus civilisation, which had ended 4000 years ago, supported the Vaidas (referenced here in an ample bibliography). Religious literature, astronomy, space exploration, satellite imaging, philology, genetics and other work also support the corrections. Yet the false version persists in America, Europe and India. Background data are given on India's pre-conquest prosperity; its tolerance; its many advances in mathematics, astronomy, sciences, linguistics, biology, medicine etc.; its aid to the European renaissance. The context is given of Islamic and British victories from the 8th to the 19th centuries, during which Muslims acquired Hindu knowledge and taught it in the caliphates, thence in Europe. Mongols conquered north India in the 16th century, and governed under sharia laws, for 300 years. Eager British merchant aristocrats came to Mughal India to trade, and found friendly, trusting natives, but overwhelmed by plenty, began to raid. They conquered half of India and controlled the rest as vassals, by force, corruption and treachery, enslaving people, looting the land and moving assets to Britain, reducing India's GDP to 4%of the world's. Indians lost the independence war in 1857 and were forced thereafter to feed on Macaulay's soup of distortions, curricular indoctrination, language substitution, racism and religious subversion, which, under repressive laws, subjugated Indians and created a heavily anglicised middle class, shorn of historical roots. An independence struggle led to partition, created an Islamic Pakistan, a secular India with a large Muslim population, now 180 million, including militant Wahhabists, funded from Saudi Arabia and based in Pakistan, which stokes conflicts, sullying India's social peace, impeding economic gains, and stirring skilled migration to the West. Western NGOs, encouraged by the Pope, have converted over 25 million to a militant Christianity. Independent India has failed to establish a uniform civil code, the backbone of secularism. Disruptive forces preach anti-Hinduism and teach the debunked 19th century British myth of "Aryan" vs. "Dravidian" races, to promote civil dissension, with the collusion of strident native acolytes. Successive governments have ignored the issue, while courting minority votes! The main anglocentric media, academics, atheists and communists-in India and the West-promote Hinduphobia, exaggerate Hindu failings, overlook others, while wealthy Indians, and their foreign (mainly US and UK) counterparts exploit India's assets, enrich themselves, while the poor gets poorer. These forces threaten the integrity of India and promote the agenda of Western Corporations conspiring to reconquer India, much as the British East India Company had done to bring it to its current state of moral disequilibrium.
About the Author: Dr Mohan Ragbeer is a historian, social anthropologist, a physician, university professor, journalist, photographer, linguist and carpenter, with a deep interest in his ancestral Indian culture and heritage, which he has explored and followed to the present. He has recently retired from the practice of Geriatrics in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He was born of Indian parentage in a multiracial British colony that became independent Guyana in 1966; he graduated in Medicine with London University graduate and specialty degrees, and later became Dean of the Medical Faculty of the UWI, Jamaica, a position that enabled him to make wide international contacts and gain experience of world issues; this supplemented previous encounters with harsh political and communal conflicts in his native land prior to independence, similar to events in India which he has followed closely. He migrated to Canada on completion of his Deanship at a time of disruptive social and political unrest in Jamaica, with direct effects on his family, just as similar upheavals were forcing Indians and others to leave Guyana, where a Black dictator had been installed with CIA and Cold War support. This book forms part of a historical clarification of the colonial independence struggles and is aimed to inform multicultural societies of a history of Indians that they should know if they wished to live in mutual harmony. It is based on in-depth studies of Indian history enriched by an extended stay in India as a visiting Commonwealth scholar. He hopes his perspective would help to dispel the fog of misinformation and distorted history, initiated by the British nearly two centuries ago to facilitate conquest, and persisting in institutions and media globally, even in India, passing off as truth. Dr Ragbeer is disappointed in the direction India has taken and asserts that it is again falling to new enemies, a militant Wahabbist Islam from Saudi Arabia via Pakistan and evangelistic Christianity based in the USA, Europe and the Vatican, spurred by militaristic governments, religious organisations, exploitative Maoist communism, and by corrupt Indian and foreign businesses, politicos and administration. He dedicates this book in part to the valiant workers in India and elsewhere who stand up to the forces aiming to destroy or fragment India. He is twice married and has six children; he and his second wife, who edited this book, have been together for 34 years.
